The platform gave us the freedom to be honest with our expression and bring Haryana's voice to a wider audience."Xvir Grewal added, "Working on Ishq Bawla with Dhanda Nyoliwala and Coke Studio Bharat allowed me to explore an idea that's both intimate and timeless.

Immutable [IMX] targets $1 as NFT sector surges: Key drivers behind the rally
IMX sees 17% gain, with breakout indicating potential 68% rally. Liquidity inflows and NFT sector growth fuel IMX's bullish momentum. In the past 24 hours, Immutable [IMX] has dominated the crypto market as the top gainer, with a 17% increase. This bullish momentum has persisted for over four weeks. AMBCrypto's analysis indicates more upside potential as market activity gears up for a further upward move. IMX breaks out, but that isn't all IMX has broken through a resistance line to the upside, leading to its rally in the past 24 hours. Market analysis shows that this breakout is likely the first step toward a much larger rally, as IMX trades within a cup-and-handle pattern. Typically, an asset trading within this pattern experiences a rally that mirrors its previous downside movement. Source: TradingView Following this, IMX could see a 68% rally to the upside, reclaiming its $1.064 level. A rally to this level could signal a broader market rally as the overall market gains strength. Why will a rally happen? The potential for an IMX rally has intensified due to the high liquidity flow into the market. AMBCrypto confirmed this based on the Money Flow Index (MFI), which has remained in the positive zone (50-80), with a press time reading of 72.82. A reading this high confirmed that liquidity flow into IMX remained strong, adding to the potential for a further rally. Source: TradingView It's important to note that when the MFI reaches 80, it indicates that IMX is overbought, and a price correction is likely imminent. Additionally, the Aroon line indicators remained positive, with the Aroon Up line (orange) staying above the Aroon Down line (blue). Read More Injective: Can INJ bulls hold key support at $21.65? The Aroon Up was at 35.71%, while the Aroon Down was at 0.00%. This confirmed that the uptrend was still in place, and the rally remained intact. Key fundamentals driving liquidity inflow The liquidity inflow into IMX is linked to the growth of the NFT applications sector, a category that IMX falls under. According to Artemis, the NFT application sector is now the third-fastest-growing sector, at 47.6%, following the Bitcoin ecosystem and AI sectors. Source: Artemis This growth shows renewed investor interest, particularly in assets likely to deliver higher returns, with IMX being a top choice.

Crypto Daybook Americas: Bitcoin Bulls Play 'Heads I Win, Tails Bears Lose' as BTC Tops $94K
By Omkar Godbole (All times ET unless indicated otherwise) For bitcoin bulls, it's a case of "heads I win, tails you lose." It's risk-on-time and boding well for BTC, which rose above $94,000 to mark a more than 50% retracement of the sell-off from record highs above $109,000 to $74,000. The cryptocurrency has experienced a sharp rally in the past 24 hours, coinciding with President Donald Trump saying he does not intend to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell and making conciliatory remarks on trade tensions with China. But BTC rose on Monday too. That was supposedly on haven demand as traders sold the dollar, U.S. stocks and bonds on the perceived threat to the Fed's independence. No wonder some analysts say the largest cryptocurrency is simultaneously a risk play due to its emerging tech appeal and a haven akin to digital gold. The latest surge also boosted morale in the wider crypto market. SUI, BONK, ENA, NEAR and AGLO have climbed more than 20% in just 24 hours. IMX surged over 40%, while ether (ETH), the biggest altcoin, is trading about 10% higher. Bitcoin's dominance rate dropped slightly, indicating a traders' renewed willingness to take on risk. In traditional markets, traders are covering their USD short positions, with some taking outright bullish bets on the dollar. This shift comes amid a decline in gold prices and a positive upswing on Wall Street. Supporting the case for a continued move higher in BTC is the renewed optimism about institutional adoption. The FT reported that Brandon Lutnick, son of U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, is working with SoftBank, Tether and Bitfinex to capitalize on the crypto revival under the Trump administration. "The $3 billion fund plans to raise an additional $350 million via convertible bonds, alongside a $200 million private equity round, with one clear directive: buy more Bitcoin, and buy it big," according to Singapore-based QCP Capital. The announcement comes on the heels of decisive shift in the U.S. regulatory policy. On Tuesday, the newly appointed SEC Chairman Paul Atkins reiterated that his top priority is establishing a clear regulatory framework for digital assets. Elsewhere, DeFi Development Corp. deepened its SOL bet with a $11.5 million token purchase. A crypto whale accumulated ether, withdrawing $21.78 million worth of tokens from Binance. Stay alert!

"MAKE SHIB MEME AGAIN," Shib said in a post on X in a nod to the "Make America Great Again" slogan, aiming to revive the meme culture that propelled the token's popularity in 2020. Shib said the Zora token it minted was not tied to the SHIB token's value but focused on archiving the meme's culture. "This post is live on Zora — not for speculation, not a token tied to SHIB — but to preserve this content on-chain. We're archiving our culture. One meme at a time," the team said. Zora has gained traction in the past week following heavy social media promotion by Base creator Jesse Pollak, who spearheaded a campaign to "tokenize everything," or just about any piece on content, on the Coinbase Ventures-backed layer 2. Pollak's amplifications of several Zora-created tokens drew attention to the platform, with user count and token creation setting records late last week. It attracted over 230,000 'new' traders (or wallets that interacted with the platform for the first time) on Sunday, data shows. Open interest in BTC and ETH perpetual futures listed on offshore exchanges has risen more than price, signaling an influx of money into the market, which validates price gains. SUI, TRX, HBAR and BCH still see negative funding rates, signaling a bias for shorts. Continued market strength may force these short position holders to square off their bets, potentially leading to a sharp price rally in the tokens. Gains in XLM, DOGE, TON and TRX may be fleeting: The negative cumulative volume delta for these coins points to net selling in the market.

SEC Drops Investigation into Web3 Gaming Firm Immutable
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped its investigation into Web3 gaming platform Immutable and will not file enforcement charges, according to a Tuesday announcement from the company. Immutable, an Australian company, disclosed that it had received a Wells notice — essentially an official heads-up from the SEC that it intends to file an enforcement action against the recipient — in November. At the time, the firm speculated that the SEC's investigation was tied to its listing and private sales of its native IMX token back in 2021. 'We are pleased the SEC has concluded its inquiry,' said Robbie Ferguson, Immutable's co-founder and president, in a statement. 'This marks a significant milestone for the crypto industry and gaming as we advance towards a future with regulatory clarity.' Ferguson added that the firm was 'thrilled' at the developing regulatory clarity coming from the U.S. government, and said that 'with a clear regulatory framework, we plan to accelerate our ambitions to bring digital ownership to the 3.1 billion gamers in the world.' The SEC declined to comment, telling CoinDesk that the agency 'does not comment on the existence or nonexistence of a possible investigation.' The SEC's decision to end its investigation into Immutable is the latest in a string of closed probes and dropped litigation as the agency continues its full-scale retreat from former Chair Gary Gensler's so-called 'regulation by enforcement' approach to the crypto industry. Under the leadership of Acting Chair Mark Uyeda, the SEC has signaled a total overhaul in its crypto regulation strategy, setting up a Crypto Task Force spearheaded by crypto-friendly Commissioner Hester Peirce and starting a series of roundtable discussions with industry players. In the less-than-three-month span since U.S. President Donald Trump took office — catalyzing a regulatory sea change for the crypto industry — the SEC's investigations into crypto exchange Gemini, trading platform Robinhood, non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace OpenSea, NFT company Yuga Labs, and now, Immutable, have all been dropped, with no enforcement charges filed. The agency's litigation against crypto companies including Kraken, Coinbase, ConsenSys, Ripple andCumberland DRW have also been dropped. Still more litigation, including the SEC's cases against Tron and Binance, have been paused. However, not everyone who received a Wells notice is off the SEC's hook yet. Crypto issuer Unicoin received a Wells notice last year informing the firm that the SEC planned to bring charges alleging violations related to fraud, deceptive practices and the offer and sale of unregistered securities. A spokesperson for Unicoin told CoinDesk that the firm 'remains in the final stages of the SEC review process.' 'As of now, we have not received any new updates or formal feedback from the SEC regarding our registration,' the spokesperson added. 'We are fully committed to compliance and transparency, and we continue to work toward securing the necessary approvals for our planned offerings.' also received a Wells notice from the SEC last year, after which it sued the agency and then-Chair Gensler, accusing the regulator of 'unlawfully expanding its jurisdiction.' The suit was later dropped. has not publicly commented on the status of the SEC's investigation, and did not respond to CoinDesk's request for comment. Sign in to access your portfolio
